One of the many reasons why the last month of Kings basketball has been so disappointing is because that was supposed to be easiest part of the 2019-20 schedule. Tonight, the Kings find themselves in Salt Lake City, Utah, to face the red-hot Utah Jazz. The Jazz have won 15 of their last 17 games. The Jazz have a 15-3 record at home. The Jazz are very good.

Let’s get to the recap, running diary style:

1st Quarter:

Marvin Bagley got off to a little miniature hot start scoring the first 4 points for the Kings, but a couple of Bojan Bogdanovic threes gave the Jazz an early 14-6 lead, forcing Luke Walton to call a timeout just 3 minutes into the game.
